There is a cropping-time in the races of men, as in the fruits of the field and sometimes, if the stock be good, there springs up for a time a succession of splendid men and then comes a period of barrenness.
Aristotle

More quotes by Aristotle
Time crumbles things everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.
Aristotle
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
A true disciple shows his appreciation by reaching further than his teacher.
Aristotle
A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
Aristotle
All men agree that a just distribution must be according to merit in some sense they do not all specify the same sort of merit, but democrats identify it with freemen, supporters of oligarchy with wealth (or noble birth), and supporters of aristocracy with excellence.
Aristotle
Even that some people try deceived me many times ... I will not fail to believe that somewhere, someone deserves my trust.
Aristotle
Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.
Aristotle
I was not alone when I was in Goofy hell
Aristotle
A man is his own best friend therefore he ought to love himself best.
Aristotle
We must not listen to those who advise us 'being men to think human thoughts, and being mortal to think mortal thoughts' but must put on immortality as much as possible and strain every nerve to live according to that best part of us, which, being small in bulk, yet much more in its power and honour surpasses all else.
Aristotle
Happiness comes from theperfect practice of virtue.
Aristotle
Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base. But to court death as an escape from poverty, or from love, or from some grievous pain, is no proof of bravery, but rather of cowardice.
Aristotle
What is common to many is least taken care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than what they possess in common with others.
Aristotle
The chief forms of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which the mathematical sciences demonstrate in a special degree.
Aristotle
The greater the length, the more beautiful will the piece be by reason of its size, provided that the whole be perspicuous.
Aristotle
The perversions are as follows: of royalty, tyranny of aristocracy, oligarchy of constitutional government, democracy.
Aristotle
It is no easy task to be good.
Aristotle
Philosophy can make people sick.
Aristotle
Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
Aristotle
Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
Aristotle
